Graduation

Life of being a university student is so short; 3 years and a half is now gone. I've finally graduated from UC and start to prepare for the graduation from RULE as well. It's true that time flies, and I feel that I'm not well-prepared for change to a stage of working life. I have started to worry if I could find a job, especially a job that I wish for.

For two weeks Nareth and I have been trying to go to various companies to apply for internship so that we could write a report for our graduation at RULE. We have always supposed that companies would be more open to provide chances for students to intern rather than to have a job. Nevertheless, things have come up in total contrast, I may say. It seems unlikely for a total stranger to learn and check a company's accounting procedure since accounting information is confidential in doing business. Therefore, we have been rejected by most of companies and banks; some of them do provide chances for internship, but, by the time we were there, the posts were already filled! It's annoying that we were late for them! Students from other universities have already taken them.

This is week the 4th day of week 2, and there are only two weeks left before the deadline of submission of request form. At the moment I am waiting for reply from a company I have submitted the form (which was submitted 3 days ago).

Hope good news comes up soon!

To Be Alone: Who Like It?

I’m afraid of being alone, especially at night. The reason one can think of is that I’m afraid of ghosts or any evil spirits. But it’s not the case. Although I’ve never seen a ghost until now, admittedly, I’d not be happy or willing to have such an experience. What frightens me then? I would say I’m more scared of human beings that of ghosts. Human beings are even harsh and frightening nowadays. Crimes ranging from theft to murder are increasing from day to day although people are governed by rules of law and morality. People need companions as many as possible to reduce the risk of being targeted. Within only one year (2010), I was a victim of theft and robbery twice, but luckily I didn’t lose much. When can we have a safe and secure society?


I hate to be alone—perhaps it’s just my personality or other people may share. I always need someone to talk to or at least someone to write to. People may find me ‘enjoy’ sitting alone, but I am not really ‘enjoying’. I feel like talking to people, but sometimes I dare not because I may bore or offend them in some ways since my communication skill is not very good. When I’m sad or happy, I want to express the feeling out so I’ll feel relieved or my pleasure will be doubled. No matter how the drama is inviting, how the game is exciting, how food is delicious, if it’s not shared with other people, I don’t have real excitement. No one can avoid being alone sometimes.

I don’t want to be alone. I have tried to improve my communication skill and sense of humor. I try to listen to people’s conversation and engage in them whenever I feel appropriate to. I try to make new friends and go out with friends more than I have ever done. Sometimes I go to school late simply because I don’t want to stay in the class alone waiting for the classmates and friends.

I am not alone. I have my family who are the first to share my achievements, delight, and sadness. I also have my closed friends to share the depth of my thoughts and feelings.

Please do not wish to be alone! No matter how intelligent or outstanding you are, you need someone to be with to feel secure, to be successful, and to make everything meaningful.

When FAKE LOVE happens...

When FAKE LOVE happens…


- Fake love happens when you think that he/she is a perfect person—you will lose heart when he/she turns out to be not as good as you thought.

- Fake love happens when you love a person who seems to be quite better than the one you are with currently in some respects—you will find another one who will be much better than this second person.

- Fake love happens when a person appears in front of you in the moment in which you are alone and wish for a person to be with and talk to—you will forget him/her when you have companions.

- Fake love happens when you are heartbroken and need a substitute—you will leave him/her when you find a new heart.

What LOVE is and when it occurs...

What LOVE is …

Being teacher is not easy

For two weeks I've worked as an part-time English teacher at Hello American School. It's the first time I work to earn salary. Quite nervous and worrying on the first few days! I don't have many students. From 9 students on the first day to 6 now, I don't know if I'm not a good teacher or the students just didn't want to study there. I have tried to bring the class to talk during class, but most of them seem to be not willing to open their mouth at all. As I can remember the time I was studying at Hello, I also didn't talk much during class. It's the reason why I didn't improve speaking skill at all at Hello but instead at NWI where I was taught by native speakers. Therefore, I want to encourage them to talk more so that they will not follow my previous step. These six students include 4 rather outstanding ones and the remaining two is not quite able to catch up with the lessons I teach. I believe that my teaching pace is slow, so I want to increase it, but the students will have difficulty.

Hello is considering changing the policy. Class duration for each day will lengthened to one hour and a half and the school fee will also increase, and so does teacher's pay. However, I'm afraid that my students will quit their class. Hope that New Year brings good luck and success!

UC Mid-term Exam Over

After five days of hard work, the mid-term exam at UC finally comes to an end. The first stage of this term is over after all. Most of the subjects are not perfectly done; there were some questions that were answered based entirely on guessing. Hope everything will be fine.

Scholarship from Mitsubishi UFJ Foundation

December 9, 2010

It's the second time I have received the scholarship provided by Mitsubishi UFJ Trust Scholarship Foundation from Bank of Tokyo, Japan. The first time was on December 16, 2009. Mr. Hideaki Taga, the executive director of UFJ Foundation, came to Royal University of Law and Economics, Cambodia, to grant us this precious funds to support and facilitate our study.

It's the fifth time that UFJ Foundation has granted the scholarship to Cambodian students studying in RUPP and RULE; each time 10 students are granted.

I was very delighted that I was chosen to be the nominee of this grant because it's a kind of acknowledgement of my hard work and great motivation and support for my learning. Additionally, I feel extra grateful because I have received the scholarship for two years subsequently.

'The Foundation was established in 1953 with endowments from Mitsubishi UFJ Trust and Banking Corporation (originally the Mitsubishi Trust and Banking Corporation) and continues its activities in grant programs for scholarship and research every year.


There are more than five thousand domestic and international students who accomplished their study with grants from the Foundation during this half century and are now contributing in various area of society all over the world.'
